I am looking for universities having tuition fees <=50 lakhs for whole course + living.
As I want to do research in ML/AI/Deep Learning domains, please suggest universities according to that.
Here is a list I have made by going through all the courses offered pertaining to my desired domain:

Georgia Institute of Technology
University of California - Los Angeles
University of California - San Diego
University of Massachusetts - Amherst
University of Wisconsinâ€“Madison
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
Texas A & M University
New York University - Courant
Ohio State University
North Carolina State University
Virginia Tech
Purdue University - West Lafayette
Stony Brook University - SUNY
Rutgers University
Arizona State University
University at Buffalo - SUNY
University of Colorado - Boulder
University of Utah

I will apply to 10-12 universities. I want to pursue a job in Machine Learning domain after doing my MS.

I couldn't find good courses in ML/AI in UC-Irvine and UC-SB. Correct me if I am wrong.

Feel free to suggest more universities in Safe, Moderate and Ambitious categories in ML/AI domain.

Thanks a lot!!!!

Great GRE score and very good to see rise in CGPA trend. You can utilize this trend very effectively in your SOP and fact that you have even topped the class will definitely shinning point in your SOP. Your work experience at Samsung research labs will act as an additional shining point in your CV and SOP.

I will suggest you to apply to Northeastern as it will be safe for your profile and is a good university for ML/AI. Also fact that you mentioned 2 LoR from company associate is nice to have, however Masters of science admission is an academic game and I suggest you to take 2 strong LoRs from faculty itself( would be excellent if you get strong LoR from Head of department). 3rd strong LoR should be taken from your associate which has lots of patents since he will be well known to research community. All the best

The thread title says your Quant score is 150, whereas in the first post, you've written 170. So, which one is it?

Assuming a quant score of 170, I'd agree with 's eval, with one difference: CUB would be safe-mod.

1)Please mention as many details as possible about your academics, research and work-ex, in terms of projects worked on, technologies used, roles/responsibilities handled, papers published/presented, awards/honors obtained, etc. All those have to be put in the misc details section of your UniSearch profile if you expect any help on Edulix. Also, before requesting for profile evaluations, please go through this excellent post.

2)Please take some time out to read these three threads in their entirety.PLEASE do that before asking questions about universities from a comparison perspective, or jobs, or coursework, or H-1B visas, or "placements", irrespective of which univ/department/program/major you're applying to.

I love to read, and then I regurgitate. I write - a lot - as my posts here and on other outlets would show. I do not make apologies for what I write (and how long it is). I do not sugarcoat things either. I don't tolerate vague questions, for any reasons - ignorance arising out of an inability to locate information when the necessary tools to do so (i.e. the internet, libraries, university websites, other forums/bulletin boards, etc.) are readily available, is not any kind of an acceptable excuse.

Thanks for the quick reply.

- It seems my list is heavy on the ambitious side. I will apply to 4-5 ambitious universities. As I want to pursue a job in Machine Learning domain after doing my MS, what all ambitious universities should I target or trim out?

- In some universities thesis is compulsory but in some, we have an option for the project. What will be beneficial keeping in mind the job prospects?

- I saw in lots of threads people applying to NCSU, Virgina Tech. and the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities for ML/AI domain. NCSU faculty is heavily focussed on Intelligent Agents(and AI in general) but no courses on ML or its applications. And same is the case with Virgina Tech. . UMTC had just okayish coursework. Are my observations right?
